Leaving on a jet plane

So far i have visited the Melbourne Gaol, Federation Square, Flinders Street Station, Melbourne Museum, Scienceworks, Queen Vic Gardens, Melbourne Aquarium, Crown Casino, and now i'm too bored to think of any more!!!!

On Friday, Stacey and I went on a backpacker tour of the Great Ocean Road, and it was just, well, kinda, Great! hahahaha

First we went to the lighthouse featured in "Round The Twist" a TV programme that only really people under 26 will remember! Then we went to the rainforest and did a bush walk and koala spotting, then to the 12 Apostles.

I expected to be overwhelmed by this Wonder of the World, but I wasn't, which was a shame. They are beautiful and everything, but just not overwhelming.

I am attempting to upload some pictures now, but it has taken me 30 minutes to burn one CD - I think the computers are a tad slow.

I only have 2.5 weeks left in Australia now, which is exciting and scary all at the same time.

Then 2 weeks in NZ and 6 weeks in the USA!!

Hello!

Just a quick entry to say that I am here in Melbourne living it up having a great time!

I haven't been able to find a job as I have such a short timescale, so I will have to be more careful with my pennies .... or so she says....

Melbourne is such a cool city!! The public transport is excellent, the people are mega friendly, the weather is as changeable as my mood .... hahahaha. Seriously though, they say you can experience 4 seasons in 1 day in Melbourne, and it's true!!

Not a lot more to report for now.

Bye bye!!!

Hello my darlings

Well my time in New South Wales is coming to an end.

Tomorrow is my last day at work, then I fly to Melbourne on Saturday to live with Stacey for 4 weeks in Moonee Ponds - home of Dame Edna Everage!!

Sydney is a wonderful, vibrant, busy city with incredible culture and has made me feel very welcome for the 9 weeks that I lived here. There were moments when I was ready to jack it all in and come home as I found the people here sooooo rude - after discovering it was the non-native's who gave me a false impression I started to have a damn good time!

So, tonight is the all important Panic! At The Disco gig, who most of you won't have heard of until just then. They are an amazing band from Las Vegas who are playing here tonight!! PATD are the sole reason that I stayed in Sydney for so long, I was not planning on getting a job here in Sydney and was going to watch PATD in Melbourne, but Icould only get a ticket or the Sydney gig, and I am so glad that I did otherwise I would never have met the wonderful people that I work and live with. Some of them I will never forget!! They give me a great excuse to have to come back here to visit!

I have uploaded some more photos of Sydney and a couple of me and my buddies celebrating my birthday in style!
